Abstract

The innovative treatment method described here utilizes configurable microscopic medical payload delivery devices to act as a transport vector to deliver a wide variety of cellular ribonucleic acid molecules to specific types of cells in the body. Utilizing probes on the exterior of the transport devices, the transport devices locate a specific type of cell in the body. Once a specific target cell type has been encountered, the configurable microscopic medical payload delivery devices insert their payload of cellular ribonucleic acid molecules into the target cells. By delivering cellular ribonucleic acid molecules into specific cells a wide variety of protein deficiencies are correctable, gene expression is capable of being modulated, and telomere synthesis is enhanced.
